2021s
Wow, just read the act-by-act plot of the Rock of Ages stage musical, and boy am I glad I never saw it (except for seeing @joelhoekstra13 as a member of Arsenal; that would’ve been cool). The movie version is so much lighter and funnier by comparison. And still has Joel.
Well, my beloved 2015 MacBook Pro survives another year with being able to run the latest macOS. I mean, I haven’t installed the last two “latest” macOSes on it, but it’s nice to know I still could if I wanted to. #WWDC2021
What’s better than celebrating your anniversary a day early? Having a teenager who can watch younger siblings and the timing to go out on your anniversary after all the other activities are done.
Twenty-nine years tomorrow that we tied the knot. Celebrating this evening; she’s still my favorite. đ
Friends, if you have a Ring doorbell and don’t want to be part of Amazon’s creepy Sidewalk program that co-opts your device to be part of their network, the setting to disable can be found thus:
- In the Ring app, tap the hamburger menu in the upper left of the screen
- Select Control Center
- Scroll down to the section marked Community Control (creepy)
- Select Amazon Sidewalk
- Slide the button from Enabled to Disabled
- Done!
You have to do this before Tuesday, June 8th, or you are opted-in against your will. More info: www.theguardian.com/technolog…

Part 2 of a “dads only” recording of The Empowered Parent Podcast is now on the air. Ryan and I talk about being present with our kids, with some practical application. empoweredparent.podbean.com/mobile/e/…
To show what a sensitive fellow I am, I offset the Punisher skull socks with Grogu (aka “Baby Yoda”) ones.
Remember why Monday is a national holiday. Take a few moments to honor our fallen.
I do not recommend losing one’s grip on a pressure washer set to maximum and allowing it to come into contact with one’s unshod big toe.
It’s been a while since I’ve revisited Anberlin’s debut album. I really shouldn’t wait so long next time. So good.
When I turn on the TV to find my TiVo recording a cricket game from India, I tend to question the ruthless effectiveness of machine learning.
When Mom puts peanut butter in the treat hole of your chew toy.
(She’s not let go of that thing for at least 10 minutes.)
After a too-long hiatus, I got back this past week to finishing the series Longmire. Finished the fifth season last night. Hoo boy.
I deleted my StoryGraph and GoodReads accounts today. I’m just not really using either, and they had become just one more place I needed to keep track of my reading. For stuff I have read, I maintain a list on my site, and I’m going to use BookTrack for keeping track of to-reads, wishlist, etc.
